Chelsea has made impressive progress in the upcoming market,
which could see several stars across the globe become Blues. The move is aimed
at strengthening the team and providing the necessary depth as the club looks
to defend its Champions League title and Premier League glory.
With the Stamford Bridge outfits keen to replace stars who
are likely to leave soon, the new list of potential signings has left fans fascinated.
The list contains defenders, midfielders and attackers who would help bolster
the team’s efforts.
Chelsea has lined up two defenders that would fill in gaps
likely to be left by Antonio Rüdiger and Andreas Christensen should their
current contract situations persist.
Among them is Fenerbahce’s Hungary defender Attila
Szalai whose impressive performance has been likened to
that of Liverpool’s Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk. The Blues have made a
£20m offer to the Turkish side, who are keen to offload the defender to fund
their transfer spree.

TuttoJuve reports that the Stamford
Bridge outfits are drawing an offer for 21-year-old France and AS Monaco
midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni. Monaco would let the young prospect
leave in the summer for £50m, a fee deemed an incredible bargain given the
youngster’s age and performance. Chelsea are, however, reportedly ready to
offer the French side £60m for Aurelien. Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester
City and Juventus are also interested in the midfielder.

El Nacional have also reported that the
Blues are set to battle it out with Real Madrid for Bayer Leverkusen’s highly
rated Germany playmaker Florian Wirtz. The youngster, who
has compared to Barcelona legend Andréas Iniesta, has so far scored 7 goals and
provided 9 assists in 18 appearances for the Bundesliga side. If the deal goes
through, he will be the second player Chelsea got from Leverkusen months after
Kai Havertz arrived.
Attack
The london-based club have also made efforts to provide striker
Romelu Lukaku and avoid over-reliance on the Belgian striker.
They have so far made an offer for Red
Bull Salzburg's prolific attacker Karim Adeyemi. The 19-year-old has
so far scored 11 goals in 13 games for RB Salzburg, attracting interest from
Chelsea and Inter Milan. Chelsea are, however, the only club that has official
contact with the Austrian champions over a deal for Karim
